When running a busy restaurant, your chefs, waitstaff, and cleaning personnel are all crucial for your success, but so is the HVAC system. In addition to keeping the building comfortable, your HVAC equipment also removes humidity and fumes from the rooms. Here are some essential things to know about installing and maintaining HVAC equipment in restaurants. 

What To Know About Installing and Maintaining Restaurant HVAC Equipment 

How Is Commercial HVAC Equipment Different? 

HVAC equipment made for commercial spaces relies on more ventilation than residential HVAC systems. There has to be enough incoming air and outgoing air to keep the indoor air properly filtered since activities like cooking and cleaning can pollute the air quickly. Cooking also generates heat, so ventilation is necessary to pull warmth out of the air to keep energy costs down. Additionally, your system may work in tandem with fire suppression systems to maintain the safety of your building. 

What Are Some Common Problems With Commercial HVAC?

Common issues with commercial HVAC systems include insufficient amounts of external air coming inside, improperly placed range hoods not capable of removing pollutants, and insufficient ductwork leading outdoors. All of these issues could create HVAC issues like uncomfortable temperatures, polluted indoor air, and high energy bills. 

How Can You Care for Your System?  

One of the best ways to care for your system is by working with professionals to inspect and repair your HVAC components. Anytime you sense problems with your system, report the issue immediately to have things resolved. Also, schedule a furnace and air conditioning tune-up at least once a year, and have your ducts sealed to prevent leaking air.
